~, s.nzr siEs
arts than we, and there are no deaths
there The people are translated
from one sphere 10 another. ] ave
given much study 20 this subject,and
In shor, time ] propose To- make the
result OF my observations, known TO
the world, but not just now. The
recent upheayals Of the earth pre-
dicted months ago, and ! can give
you thcnamcs OF person whom told,
and they Will tell You that predict
cd the exact time OF Che occurrences.
Two weeks before the Charleston
earthquake told of serious distur-
Dances to take place on Che seaboard
in the Southern States, and ! was re-
questcd by several people TO publish
my prediction, but | declined, as |
wished to avoid the notoricty. You
know what a terrible time they had
in Charleston and the number of lives
that were lost
II have no desire to alarm the
people of tls country, but | consider
il my duty TO warn them of
FEARFUL THINGS COMING THIS YEAR.
Within a months the people of New
Hampshire are to have the greatest
frcshet ever known in the State. The
Baker river, PemigeWaSSctt and
Mcrimac valleys will he the scene
of terrible floods, occasioning great
loss of life and property In the
coming summer there will be great
drought. In the West there will be
an almst total failure Of crops and
the broad prairies will becomem arid
desert. I'm several large cities of the
country thcrc viii be bic fires, dc,-
,royiug millions Of dollars worth of
property. Abroad there will bc
'righful pcstilcncc. sweeping hun
jrcds of thousands TO their graves.
I'm addition TO these calamities, there
will he such uphcayal> of the earth
iu his country and i'm foreign lands
l~rvill tend to paraly1c all business
and make the stoutc>t heart quail
While Uncle IhoncE was telling
OF these dircful things to happen, Inc
held i'm his hand a chart ON which
was ohetchcd his predictions, with
ialc>, names of localities, etc. That
ne honestly believes all the above is
10 come true, there is not the slight
est reason to doubt. That hc did
pfedic the recent earthquakes long
before they occurred is testified 90 by
several person, whose word cannot
bo doubted.
The old man has spent much time
since going to Campton inycnting
several things, none of which, how
ever, have turned out TO be very sue
cp~,ful. After a couple of years
hard work hc completct sort of
tunnel for drawing liquids from a
hogshcad into a smaller vessels. He
sent ON To- Washington for patent.
and received i'm reply letter stating
Jhat something similar hal already
been patented. and his application
was refused I'm one corner of his
room there is space paruuoncd of
by a blanket. where he is at work on
something, the nature of which he
refused to diyulgc, farther than when
completed it will creatc,ho says a stir
i'm the world that has not been felt
since the invention OF the telephone.
Take him all in all, Mr.. Cheney is
q strange man. His SiXty-fiyc year,
seem to sit lightly on him. Ills
long white hair and beard, reaching
far down toward his waist, give him
| "A patr.archal look, but ms face is a.
fresh and fair and his eye of blue is
AZ clear and bright as boys. lie is
hard student, spending all his time
summer and winter, indoors over his
books and inventions lie has never
bced married. and seldom visits any
of the townpcople. About once a
month hc takes his meal bucket and
gets it filled and Immediately returns
home. lie has but few callers, and
.hc people of the town long ago
learned that hc does not care for
thcir company.
